A post to clear the last post..

..the previous post had to be shifted from the top position @ a particular time.

I’m still a little bit down with the cold, so I decided to write a short poem (actually work on my poetry writing skills) on the yeye cold ....lol. Here it is:

This Cold

The audacity of this cold!
Trying to put me on hold
Alas I am more than bold
For I refuse to fold.

Yes Oh! this cold did not stop me from pampering myself a little…after all how many times do you turn ….(see the previous post and do the maths). And this weekend cold or no cold, I’m going to have mad fun!

I still want to say sosongo (thanks)
To all those that dropped by to say Happy Birthday!!
It meant a lot and it made me happy

Thanxxxxes

Of all the calls I got yesterday, the one I was excited about the most was that of my sister. She is one of the most unreachable people ever. If she doesn’t want to be found you best believe you won’t find her. I mean my sis is not a celebrity but yet she is so unreachable. Thank God for birthday oh!...I heard her voice again. I miss her so much..it's funny because we were always fighting when we were together...I guess its true what they say, “Distance makes the heart grow fonder”.

The Pursuit of HappYness

First things first...

I hope you all had a nice christmas? I did.

It was sad news though to hear about the Pipeline Explosion in Lagos...I'll like to observe a moment of silence for those that lost their lives.
I also pray for the families that lost loved ones.


I saw The Pursuit of Happyness over the weekend, and it is GREAT. It's a movie for all to see. If you haven't seen it yet, plan on doing so and you won't regret it.
While on the subject of Happiness....My Recommended Blog reading for today is On Happiness by BOA

------------------------------------------------------------------------

THANKSGIVING

Its 5 days to the end of the year and i thought it would be nice to just thank GOD for a wonderful year.

-I thank God for family, friends and relations

-I thank God for seeing me through school

-I thank God for my job (most of you know how hard it is for international students to get jobs over here)

-And finally I thank God for loving me .

----------------------------------------------------------------------

NEW YEAR's RESOLUTION

I won't even make it long, cos i hardly keep them. But I'll really like to..

-get @ least 7 hours of sleep @ night

-eat more salad

-and last but not the least, walk in happiness and not pursue it.

Have Yourself A Merry Big Christmas!

I believe people are actually in the holiday spirit when they start singing christmas songs. So Play the video and sing...you can freestyle or follow the slightly modified lyrics below..



Have yourself a merry little (big) Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little (big) Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are near to us
Gather near to us once more.

Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself A merry little (big) Christmas now.



I also got this xmas luv and prayer in my mail today, and I'm passing it on..
Prayers for special people like you,


(1) You will find favour with someone you don't expect, Amen

(2) You will be too relevant to be ignored, Amen

(3) You will encounter God and you will never remain the same, Amen

(4) The grace for completion will come on you. You shall be blessed till the blessed call you blessed, Amen

(5) The hand that will send this message to others shall not labour in vain, Amen

(6) The mouth saying "Amen" to this prayer shall laugh forever Amen.

Very Very soon, I say Very Very soon, God is going to
do a miracle that will make you halla, "ah! Father,
You are too much!" Remain in God's love as you pass on
this prayer!!!!


Have a very Merry Christmas people!

My day....

...it started out ok.
As had been my daily routine for the past week, I had to go put air in one of my tires before heading to work. I’ve been doing this daily since late last week when i woke up one morning and one of the car tires was down (I have no clue what happenened to the tire, all i know is every morning it's flat again).

...Then it became great.
Some time before lunch, I got a christmas bonus that was totally unexpected and started dreaming of all the things i could get with it. In the end though i decided it would be better for my savings to take care of that!

...And then lousy
After work, i finally decided it was time to get my tire done once and for all and i headed over to Walmart. I spent over 2 hours waiting on just one flat tire, needless to say i wasn't too happy about that.

..Finally it ends well..
I got home still in a lousy mood i chatted with a friend online and he sent me this song that some how managed to make me feel better. It's a fusion of jazz, rap and gospel. I loved it and i'm sure you will too.

Presenting Michael Franti & Spearhead in "Every Single Soul"

this player has a mind of its own (or maybe its just me not doing it right :-)), so you'll have to click on it twice and wait for about 20 seconds...no vex sha, its worth the wait.
